Hi Riduan,

You still need to brush the ball on contact but brush the top of the ball more to keep the ball down. Make sure your rubber has some grip to play this stroke, because if it hasn’t the ball will go straight down.

How to read the amount of spin from the push?

Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 12 years ago

Hi Erriza,

You can watch the other players stroke and see the type of contact they get on the ball. If they brush under the ball it will tend to be backspin but if they push behind the ball and have a flat contact then it will be less spin. You can also watch the flight of the ball. The backspin ball will tend to hold up in the air a bit more because of the backspin. This is something that you won’t see at first but with experience, you will start to see the differences.
